Slaty-backed Nightingale-Thrush

Catharus fuscater

Small skulking thrush, far more often heard than seen. Distinctive if seen well: all sooty gray, darkest on forehead, with whiter belly. Staring pale eye with bright red-orange eyering, bill, and legs. Sexes alike. Found in middle and high elevation forests, always low to the ground; can be seen along trails but usually quite shy. Song consists of simple flutelike phrases, often repeated.

Dark-throated Oriole

Dark-throated Oriole

Oriolus xanthonotus

A streak-breasted oriole with a rather long, lipstick-pink bill. Male is yellow with a glossy black hood and dark wings. Female is olive-green above. Both sexes have dark red eyes. On Borneo absent from the northern parts of the island, where replaced by the very similar Ventriloquial Oriole. Inhabits lowland and hill forests and forest edges, typically moving in the upper levels of the forest. Sometimes found singly, sometimes in pairs or mixed flocks. Song is short but fluidly melodic, often with the last note stretched out. Gives a harsh, jay-like “chew!”.

Comoro Blue-Pigeon

Comoro Blue-Pigeon

Alectroenas sganzini

Medium-sized chunky pigeon that is dark blue with a pale gray hood. Appears short-tailed in flight. Found in rainforest, secondary habitat, and plantations, and locally in dry coastal scrub. Most common at higher elevations in most of its range. Most often seen perched up conspicuously on emergent trees, feeding on fruiting trees, or in flight in small flocks. The common vocalization is a quick series of low hoots or growls. Dark blue coloration and pale head separate it from all other pigeons in its range.

Usually in pairs, on or near the ground, where often accompanies army ant swarms to capture prey flushed by the ants.
